Dresdner Kreuzchor - Im schönsten Wiesengrunde 2006

[simjeursen]

héél mooi, het wondermooie Dresden

[ladresde]

On youtube I can right nonsense as much as I want but Coventry is a partnercity of Dresden.

[ladresde]

Coventry is not our partner city but there are close relationships, also to many cities in the US as Columbus our partner city and to Boston as well as NYC. The US are not highly popular here but there is also not any hate because of the bombing, even among people who think politically conservative. The so called neonazi party gets something like 3,3% at elections, much more in the provence, but for several reasons.

[TeunisD]

Thank You American Banks for Bombing the City of Dresden! You got rich with rebuilding didnt you? THanks!

[Lasseolin]

@TeunisD I know you're angry. Probably lost a relative during that event…(?) But anger and hatred won't take you anywhere. I feel sad about every sort of war, but I use that sadness to let my tears run. I know I won't change the evil within others, but letting myself feel sorrow is helping me heal. Just let go. Love

[ladresde]

@Lasseolin The population of Dresden changes frequently, 66 years after almost noone knows one of the maximally 25,000 people who found death. Once a year, every feb 13th, Dresden as a highly symbolic city is used by right and left radicals from all over Europe to grieve and protest against grieve. In fact the bombers didn't hit many military targets and eere also a strike against the Soviet Union which was going to invade but the normal citizen of Dresden has forgiven for already a longer time.

[Stoep]

Blöd nur, dass Wilhelm Ganzhorn in seinem Text nicht Dresden meint @_@

[fafjaafh]

Mutter aus meine Oma kommt aus Dresden. Ich liebe Dresden!

[Elberiver11]

Wir haben Dresden wiederaufgebaut - NIEMAND kann es uns nehmen!

Dresden ist die wichtigste Kunst- und Kulturstadt Deutschlands. Dresden lebe hoch!

[wskfan]

Wir haben Hamburg wieder aufgebaut, ist aber weder Kunst- noch Kulturstadt, leider...

Im Mai war ich zuletzt in Dresden, natürlich, um den Dresdner Kreuzchor (300 Jahre Dresdner Kapellknaben) zu filmen und Teilergebnisse auf YT zu stellen...:)

[KellyKruemel]

This song perfectly suits Dresden! Beautiful song and most beautiful city in the world. I will always keep Dresden in my heart.

[tasteism]

@KellyKruemel Interesting! I'm a German, my wife is a Philippina. She knows Paris but last summer we have been in Dresden and she said:"Dresden is much more beautiful than Paris".

[4391deterio]

@tasteism Dresden was once to be said the Venice of Germany. Unfortunatly US and British bombers took care of that...

[tasteism]

@4391deterio Yes, of course I know that and much more about this wonderful city. In a very humble way I contributed, like thousand others, to the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche. When I saw the Frauenkirche for the first time in my life, one year ago, I was close to tears.

[loupblanc26]

[Katzenkiller87]

Sehr schönes Lied, dessen Offenbarung sich nur an einem Platz der Welt zeigt.

Ich werde Dich nie vergessen!

[ALEMANHAMER]

Muchas gracias ...hermoso el video

[Teigen64]

Thank you for posting these words. I am an old Lutheran (a 4th generation Norwegian) and somehow I think that this melody has been used in a hymn. I cannot recall which hymn it might have been. I think that the song comes from a Romantic literary tradition rather than a Lutheran spiritual tradition, if I am not mistaken.

We Americans owe a great deal to our German friends.

[alpenfrauchen]

The song sounnds like a hymn, because it came from Renaissance times. It´s not clear whether the English "All in a Garden Greene" or the Dutch "Onder der Linden groene" is the origin; but the best version among 12 others is "Sweelinck Unter der Linden grune" played by an Italian otganist. But "Lutheran Tradition" is quiet right: Sweelinck (1562 - 1621) was an organist at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, and he wrote also variations to Lutheran and Reformed chorals. Enjoy THIS beautiful music !!

[WestfaliaMagna]

@Teigen64 You are a little bit right, because the tune goes back to "Onder een linden groene" by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and his divisions from 1601. Try & Browse this on YT, and ENJOY !!! This original version is better than all "German folksongs", especially sung by church musicians... Sweelinck was indeed a Lutheran composer in A´dam, who wrote divisions on dances, popular songs as well as on Lutheran and Calvinist hymns in the same style, learned by English masters like William Byrd !

[Teigen64]

Beautiful melody. Beautiful song. I don't have a clue what the words mean. Any one willing to help this American who loves German songs and German singing?

[flashnizmmm]

In the most beautiful valley there is my home.

I went there many times.

I greet thee my beautiful and quiet valley a thousand times!

I went there many times.

If I had to leave this valley and it's delight and tone this would be my last journey.

I greet thee a thousand times my quiet valley.

If I die I want to be burried in this valley.

Then people shall sing in the evening's sunset:"I greet thee my valley for the last time"

[nursosusi]

ich find den kreuzchor cool, freu mich schon auf die nächsten konzerte, auf die ich schon so lang warte
